also, in IE there is an option called "Auto in-line complete" where you just type in like 'www.ga' and it would fill the rest in in blue 'www.gametavern.net', is it posible to do with firefox?

yes. it used to be a extention called tabbed prefrences to do that. and i cant find it since 0.9 came out.

im unsure if its on that site seven pointed out and if it would work in .9.........or if the Extention 'Single Window' does it.

Most people want that option and yes it most certainly does exist, infact there was like 5 different extentions that did that for 0.8

give me an example of a link that does it so i can test if ya would.

"Tabbrowser Preferences" extension author Chris Cook (author of luna theme for firefox) is unable to maintain it do to time, so TheOneKEA has taken over for now.

He has two variants being tested at moment at:
http://www.pryan.org/mozilla/site/TheOneKEA/tabprefs/

There is also the bloated and tricky to maitain TBE (tab browser extensions) but that is overkill really.

I myself have barely used TBP or TBE over the last year as I have a couple of userContent.css tricks to know if link is going to open in new window or not by curser change for example or such and I use middle click button primarly to open links in tabs rather then have use extensions to force windows in tabs.

If I want to open a link in a new tab I just click the link with my mouse-wheel button (I realize not everybody has one, but if you do, it works).

Lets say I was wanting to uninstall and install firefox, and I wanted to back up my bookmarks. What file to I save to do this?

Thanks.

Click Bookmarks, Manage Bookmarks. Then click File and Export..save the bookmarks file and then when you reinstall firefox, same 2 steps and then click File and Import and point it to the backed up bookmarks you made a few minutes ago

Thanks alot.

My firefox is acting kinda wierd, so I want to reinstall but I didnt want to lose my bookmarks. (I already did that once...)

And have some rep.

I downloaded it and installed it. I can't really tell a difference, but I'm sure some bugs have been fixed. I hope they get a new version of Deepest Sender that is compatible. I need it for livejournal. Any other way to update is too much of a hassle.

Happydude · 11-09-2004, 07:33 PM

go it...i can't see a difference though...whatever...still good

GameMaster · 07-02-2004, 02:51 PM

So, on my PC I'm using version 0.8. Is there anything real significant in 0.9.1 that I should update for?

Seven7 · 07-08-2004, 09:50 PM

*Bump* Update

New Release/ fixes for Windows only.

See first post.

Hey hey. I don't know what else 0.9.2 added, but the security vulnerability you're talking about can also be fixed with this extension:

http://update.mozilla.org/extensions...id=154&vid=263

So, there may be no need to update at all, just install the extension and you'll be as safe as anybody else.

This link has the first two options of updating: http://www.mozilla.org/security/shell.html

I didn't say you needed to install a new build as in 0.9.2 to fix this. There are three options to fixing this:

1. The new 0.9.2 build

2. ShellBlock 1.0 extension (which is really not a extension depsite the .xpi but a small patch of code so it fixed it for all Firefox profiles)

3. changing the pref in about:config as I posted in first post. ( only for the Firefox profile you were using at time)

The third alternative is to set the pref network.protocol-handler.external.shell in about:config to false to remove the exploit. (This will only set it on your current profile, if you have more than one profile, or could be creating more, you should use the XPI or the updated build.)

Besides right now I am safe compared to the Firefox users on Windows as I am using Firefox on linux.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.0+ (don't let the 0.9.0+ fool you as it is much more updated then 0.9.1 or 0.9.2)
